I replied last time, perhaps it didn't get through.

Yes, there is work underway to support DSSI drives, Ragge has been doing 
the preliminary work on supporting the SHAC controller (uVAX 4000/xxx) and 
I've been writing a driver for the SII (uVAX 3400). The latest fix to the 
boot code to support booting from the RPB device was a great help here. I 
don't know where the shac support is at the moment, my kernel can attach 
the SII controller and allocate some buffers out of the shared address 
space and do inquiry commands to the devices on the bus and create the 
basic disk labels, next stop is to support raw access to the devices and 
then make sure I can handle errors. I took a hit when the 1.5 branch stuff 
hit as the kernel stopped being buildable but I've got one that at least 
limps along now on Q-bus based vaxes (the vsbus stuff is still toast.)

Of course DSSI drives on the KFQSA work already (have since 1.4 at least)

And of course is isn't like anyone said to me "Chuck go do this." I, like 
you, couldn't find anyone working on it so I started on it.
